I'm quite interested in Debian Live images having GPU firmware and so on... so that I can use them later as a basis for Rescatux (Debian Live based cd).Also about that boot option that enables or not that extra firmware.As I am a bit disconnected about current Debian Live work I have two questions:1) Has the Debian-live team/people had a discussion on the mailing list about what this change might imply on the live images?Some people might argue that if a GPU starts in 640x480 only with free firmware then there is no need to include the non-free firmware.
But that discussion is wider, and also encompasses Wifi-cards etc. In the end, there will be only the version with non-free firmware.
2) Any work already done on git commits / Salsa?
No, not yet, but it will be one of my next tasks.At the moment I'm preparing the automated weekly builds for live images again, which was turned off about a year ago. Then I'll focus on the content of the live image. The inclusion of firmware is very high on my list to implement. If you are willing to implement this (because you'll have the immediate benefit), please state so, and I'll focus on other topics :-)
With kind regards, Roland Clobus
